Accu Test Syphilis Chromatographic Immunoassay Test Kit is a special test kit designed to detect Syphilis (Treponema Pallidum- IgA, IgM, IgG) antibodies in serum/plasma. This kit is easy to use at home and gives you 99% accurate results in just 5 -20 minutes, with a sensitivity and specificity of 99.67%.Uses:This kit is a chromatographic immunoassay kit for the rapid qualitative detection of Treponemal antibodies.Product Specifications and Features:It is based on Chromatographic Immunoassay assay for detection of Treponema pallidum antigensSample: human serum or plasma2-3 drops of serum/plasma sample required for testingFast: 1 step method, result in just 5 to 20 minutesExcellent sensitivity and specificity of 99.67%Pack size: 50 TIndications:Recombinant syphilis antigen (17KDa, 15KDa, 47KDa) is immobilised in the test line region of the deviceAfter the specimen is added to the specimen well in the device, it reacts with syphilis antigen coated particles in the testThe mixture migrates chromatographically along the length of the test strip and interacts with the immobilised syphilis antigen. The double antigen test format can detect IgA, IgG and IgM in specimensIf the specimen contains TP antibodies, a coloured band will appear in the test line region, indicating a positive resultIn the absence of TP antibodies, a coloured band will not appear in the region indicating a negative resultTo serve as a procedural control, a coloured band will always appear in the control line region indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurredDirections For Use:Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation of moisture on the membrane of the deviceAlso bring the specimen to R.T. prior to testingLabel the device with patient's identificationAdd 2-3 drops (approx. 30 pl) of sample into the sample well of the test deviceAvoid overflowingWait for 5 - 20 minutes and read the resultIt is important that the background is clear before the result is readNote: Do not read the result after 30 minutes since specimen backflow may cause false resultsSafety Information:The kit should be stored at 2 - 30? C. Do not freezeDo not use the kit past the expiration date stated on the labelTake off the device from the sealed pouch just before use as the device is sensitive to humidity and heatRead the label carefully before useKeep out of reach of children
